SUMMARY
=======

The Ventel EC18K-34/Pathfinder Telebit Modem is a TrailBlazer compatible modem.
When used with Microsoft Windows version 3.0 Terminal, the Modem Default
selection should be TrailBlazer.

Symptoms of selecting the incorrect modem default include:

  the modem does not respond.

  -and-

- Perfect modem response outside Terminal.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Ventel makes 30 different type of modems. All are Hayes compatible except the
EC18K-34/Pathfinder Telebit. The EC18K-34/Pathfinder Telebit modem runs at a
rate of 18,000 bytes per second (BPS) and can be pushed to 19,200 BPS when
communicating with another EC18K-34/Pathfinder Telebit. When the EC18K-
